i'd love 2 see RZA sock westwood in his fukin face! wu-tang bum rush that shitty radio1 studio an rock that shit. fuck westwood, fuck london, WU TANG 4 LIFE SON!
yeah, there are two sides to the story..but i think that rza sums it up.....he is a badass producer. I actually think 8 diagrams is a good album...maybe in a few years time other people will appreciate it a lot more.
He's in the hip-hop game, if he was in the rock game, he would talk different, come on man, you really want some guy with long hair going, radical man, narlie! to some rap song? Pfft, as long as he doesnt go O.T.T i dont care, listen to the interview-ee, and not only the interview-er.
REAL TALK! RZA has been my favorite rapper from since GRAVEDIGGAZ to Bobby DIGITALpart2, Ah man the days i use to grab a ice cold 40 and a spliff with my boombox to listen to the GOD kick knowledge. In the hood i was admired for my unusual preference of Rza as by favorite hip-hop artist
I understand RZA's point. he's a dude that's trying to grow as an artist and these dude's wanna do the same thing all the time. I see it. But i also get Rae's point as well.
How can you not like this nigga? He needs to do more movies. This cat has a swagger about him that is cool. I can see blowing some tree's with rza and just talking about rap. This nigga seem real.
im a big fan of rza and raekwon but i can see what raekwon was asking for, to keep it grimey and hard like the 36 chambers and forever, instead rza produced iron flag and the other new relaeases which were all rubbish pussy sounding and sale flops, Every post i see online is fans wanting that rough sound back, thats what made wu tang thats what wu tang are, wu tang sold out, i hate to say that because im a huge fan of there old material. I think rza should have taken raekwons direction on this
yeah i probably spoke too soon, if he plays good music i'm down. i just don't like the way he led this interview. seemed like he was just trying to make rza talk shit about rae.
Nah I aint feelin Rza on this. Wu Tang may be world wide but their from the streets and the streets was what 36 Chambers and Forever was all about. I aint be feelin much from 'Bobby Digital' at all.
Rza's heavy. I always admired how he presented himself, very intelligent and inspirational guy. He knows what he's talking about and can articulate it. Loved Wu Tang since '93/94, I'm thirty this year, do the math
RZA is on point here. His rhymes and beats are the positive things on 8 diagrams and it's a shame Raekwon is too close-minded to let RZA do what he wants artistically. Raekwon can rap what he wants about. Rza can make the music he wants. RZA really said it saying how they aren't making an album just for TODAY. Raekwon obviously has made stabs at going mainstream. He is just the average rapper. Anybody who has met him knows he can be a real drama queen jerk.
I think catz gotta embrace the album better. When the Wu came out, no one else sounded like them until after they got known. Now that they inspired thousands of acts, you gotta switch up your style; even update it. Anyone who is a real Wu fan will rock it.
I would've preferred the album came w/ more songs like 'Heaterz' or 'Put Your Hammer Down' or even the St Ides Commercial where there is more group participation.
rza is right. wu tang has become a universal group. rae has never made any effort to appeal to anyone outside new york (or the u.s.a). his slang & the content etc. if rae wants his mafioso style and hood muzik, then he can do that solo...
but with the wu-tang clan, he should understand that the universal (different) appeal has to occur.
its all a matter of opinion. fact of the matter is 8 diagrams is masterful, lots if you dont understand what lies beneath. when you take a deeper look you will become enlightened.
People call it mediocre, people call it terrible or overrated...but what's wrong with using instruments? The lyrical content is not on top but the production is top notch. This Wu album isn't for everyone who bought Enter the 36 Chambers or Wu-Tang Forever, this is for a new generation of hip-hop/Wu-Tang fans...like RZA says in this video, all these kids are just getting this shit years after Wu-Tang dropped...it's definitely for a world appeal.
man im the biggest wu fan in the world. i have chilled with the gza, had breakfast with the kid, chilled with masta killa, trife, killah preist, basically no homo, i love the dudes. but im going to be honest. 8 diagrams is not good. method man and raekwon are the only ones who come on time. some of the other members lines like deck and masta are laughable. track 1,4,6,12,13 are the only decent tracks. all the others are sub wu. if your a wu fan your lying to yourself if you feel it
Maybe he should have listened to Rae cause the album is whack! aheh nah all this childish argueing is stupid. I respect RZA he got self control. That's something a lot of other rappers can learn about.
I honestly love him yo, he the Abbot, the wisdom he be dropin is too ill, knahmsayin? 50 cent woundn't drop that much wisdom, wouldn't bring out that much wit & wouldn't make people feel that good towards hip-hop/music/other people during his whole fuckin career. RZA did that during 7,5 minutes, word...
yeah, I wasn't super keen on 8 Diagrams at first, but it definitely is a good cd. and U-God does step it up a lot. him and Meth are the only ones that really really brought it. Ghost did too, but he's on what like 3 tracks? RZA kept the beats minimal and experimental, so it's overall a good cd.
RZA iz da Master.He dat dude, he da Abbot of da Clan so everything is everything like Cappa told everybody already.Raekwon has alwayz been a outspoken part of da Clan,but at DA END OF DA DAY RZA makin da moves dats good fa da Clan.Dem brothers will never beef like dat,so haterz hate and to da mommies, BONG!
Dawgs, You know how many times, Kanye and Dre re use the same drums.lol. If he don't have talent. Explain, Run or State of Grace. The Glide, Campfire, songs that were made within the last few years.
I just came back from the wu tang show in LA at the HOB and RZA wasnt there. It was loud but I'm pretty sure I heard correctly when Method was talking mad shit, same thing with rae. GZA was sitting out most of the show but I dont think RZA is with Wu anymore, can anyone shed some more light on this? this is some bullshit if its true...
rza tryed to be to epic on new album should of gone old skool, i'm all for progression but too much shitty guitar on record - undpredicatable is quality - nothing beats 36chambers RIP ODB
RZA is the bigger man, nuff respect to him, there's always two sides to the story but Raekwon doesn't need to be airing out dirty wu-laundry in public, he's acting like a bitch on her period... i haven't heard that 8 Diagrams yet but based on RZA's passion, i'm sure i won't be disapointed
The new Wu album is sick...Rza is a fuckin genius..When hes in control of production the other members shine.When hes not and they venture off with other producers they sound week.Wu is all about that edgy experimental shit.Thats what made them who they are.All haters fall back!!!
the albums should reflect the emotion of Wu, thats what made them great. i just think they lost the motivation as a group. the individuals have it, its different for rza though. they just need to agree, thats all.
but regardless of the style of production, none of the beats make me go "holy shit", its still the best shit out lately though.
god bless rza, hes moving forward as an individual and no body in hiphop in my opinion has done a better job with what they had, rza gods design is perfect, peace to the whole of the clan but rza dont get jumbled if you read this.
god bless, iv followed your career as a fan and stay centred in yourself bro, reality test thats all
I got luv and respect for Rae but how you gonna say you'll put an album out with RZA!!!! WHAT!!! I'll be honest, the album he put out that was on point the most was Cuban linx and the rest...ah, you know whats up, I'll just say it wasnt no good follow up from Cuban linx. RZA and others created the wu sound and RZA was incharge of that. RZA is a genius and produced the best albums out of hiphop history but now theres no love.
RZA is the creator of wu-tang. Ghostface is the only one who chooses producers who sound like Rza.,.but his albums sound the same. "8 Diagrams" is a new sound...just like "36 chambers" was new. WU TANG with out Rza is the worst idea ever. it cant be done.
Rza is a god producer. He created Wu tang. Without Rza Wu would not even exsist. Raekwon must have forgot that his only great album "ONLY BUILT.." was produced by Rza. "TICAL" "LIQUID SWORDS" "RETURN OF THE 36 CHAMBERS" "IRON MAN" "FOREVER" AND "36 CHAMBERS" are the albums that created the dynasty. ALL THOS ALBUMS ARE PRODUCED BY RZA. "8 Diagrams" is a album people will not get at first but will be remebered as a classic. It is truly a great album. Give respect.
rza got the best sounds...its good he wanted to switch up..most people want to hear the same shit over and over..would you guys like to have the same cellphone for life?you gotta upgrade bitch
Im sorry no disrespect but ... This album will never match The 36th Chambers !!! Old Hip Hop , if you wanna call it that way, was pure and real ... Todays Hip Hop is different. For people who grew up in the early 90s when Wu was shining like a MO FO !!! We dont feel what u feel !!!Listen to the 36 Chambers and Only Built for Cuban Linx one after the other, trust me ... we might listen to old hip hop but 8 Diagrams doesnt not match these 2 classic albums !! Nuff said !
Then don't listen to it. lol. It has good moments. I like the earlier stuff better but it got some joints in there. We live in an era where cats don't buy Cds like they once did. So if Rza kept it hood, it would limit its potential of reaching people or selling. I like Ghost album more but yo but his music is tailor for cats thats not even going to go to the store and buy the record dawgs. Open your mind a little bits. Its not bad as you think, Its just not what cats expect.
Rza is the whole Brains behind one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time... While I do admit that Wu got a little stale in the late 90's to early 2000... He wasn't the only one to fall off.. It was everybody to Meth to Ray.. I will say that Ghost was the only cat that was the best in the group the last 8 years. Before him Meth was the best...
RZA is a pioneer! As long as we don't get a shit load of watered down lyrics I'll be happy. As Masta Killa said ..... "The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum."
that was a cool interview. rza is one of the realest dudes ever. by the way if you like this shit youtube search "wax verses" and click on the first video that comes up. dude spits crazy.
rza,ghost,deck,killa,odb,gza,cappa,ugod,meth, vs 50,banks,olivia,yayo,buck?36 chambers,wutang forever,the w vs what...where did you get that idea from
Everybody has something to say! Wu-tang made me love hiphop, so whatever they do from this point on is all good to me. They already made histroy...WU-Tang forever ma'fuckkkkka.
No disrespect...but besides the 36th Chamber...Only built 4 Cuban Linx is definitely the top album from the whole Wu! Yes , u may say there was a lot of collabos....but we have to give credits to Raekwon...Im still listening to that album...and man . shit is tight!!!! It will be hard to match that album...Hip Hop culture has changed a lot....
"knowledge means to know, look, listen and observe" - Rza. this man is a genius in all aspects of the art, producing, lyrics, everything. wu tang forever
Liquid Swords been punchin wack rappers in they face,RIP ODB,Supreme Clientele smacking wack rappers,Wu Tang Forever knocking eMCees out.Built for only Cuban Linx made men,real talk Deck top ten Uncontrolled Substance,Mef coincide wit Rakim he's a microphonist,every bangin RZA beat UGOD own it,really he on it.
RZA is the head, they jus happen to form like voltron.....wit any deed da beat,da rhyme he da master.He's mastered his craft,yo Rae fucc all dem fake ass radio fraudelent gangstas dats riding high on da glory, you all rap for only a few,I been on yall since 92'.
"the heart gently weeps" is the end of hip hop... a shit, obvious, cash in sample from a group who should know better... accompanied by the typical " oh poor me" rap.. fuck them .. i just wish the wu tang from 94 could here this shit and realize just how badly they have sold out. so very very disappointing. hip hop is over.
Son, I thought the same thing too. I was like what the fuck is this. But, its not bad now. Is it a hip hop record? No, but the rhymes and stories is hot. I wanted early wu too but that shit has no place commercially in todays market. Niggas is old now, they can't afford to keep it real anymore. Cause the niggas they keeping real too ain't the ones buying music Anything from that era, where the Blackmoon, Jeru, early Wu, wouldn't sell now.
is it me are all you lot on crack! this 8 diagrams of far(hopefully he will modifie it) is not right. who gives a shit of expanding music, ppl want that raw shit, no fuckin guitars in it, if this does well i will be shocked....plz rza bring back the chambers, the whole purpose of you lot is to remain underground with those complex lyrics,not expand and make this commerical guitar bullshit
Ima absorb and listen as advised. But fuck spending my dollar on the record man these gas prices is high as fuck and its effecting everything else. Plus man just fuck it. Good shit though
Yeah I aint gone lie I downloaded it. and I am Gone to buy it too its that good. Sonicly it souns just as good as Dres Shit. Its like a what if, if hip hop wouldnt have went hollywood how it would all sound now. 5 mics easy
Wu-Tang is some of the few that be RAP.. Rap = Rhythem & Poetry, they know exactly what it is, and u can hear it through thier lyrics.. These guys progress and trensend knowledge.. Others do nothing but flash thier shit..
No other crew or music group in music EVER came as deep as the Wu. When The Abbott was like 'we come through'...damn. Think about how deep this clique is regardless of the quality of music. Royal Fam, 12 O'Clock, Killarmy, Sunz of Man. Gravediggaz, Shyheim, Black Knights, La The Darkman, Killah Priest, Jaime Summers, Tekeitha, Blue Razberry, GP Wu, Papa Wu and on and on..That's deep.

I just came back from the wu tang show in LA at the HOB and RZA wasnt there. It was loud but I'm pretty sure I heard correctly when Method was talking mad shit, same thing with rae. GZA was sitting out most of the show but I dont think RZA is with Wu anymore, can anyone shed some more light on this? this is some bullshit if its true...

RZA is the bigger man, nuff respect to him, there's always two sides to the story but Raekwon doesn't need to be airing out dirty wu-laundry in public, he's acting like a bitch on her period... i haven't heard that 8 Diagrams yet but based on RZA's passion, i'm sure i won't be disapointed

The new Wu album is sick...Rza is a fuckin genius..When hes in control of production the other members shine.When hes not and they venture off with other producers they sound week.Wu is all about that edgy experimental shit.Thats what made them who they are.All haters fall back!!!
nived3rd 4 years ago
the bitch in this situation is perspective.
they just have different points of view.
it sounds to me like rae just needs to vent
the albums should reflect the emotion of Wu, thats what made them great. i just think they lost the motivation as a group. the individuals have it, its different for rza though. they just need to agree, thats all.
but regardless of the style of production, none of the beats make me go "holy shit", its still the best shit out lately though.

I got luv and respect for Rae but how you gonna say you'll put an album out with RZA!!!! WHAT!!! I'll be honest, the album he put out that was on point the most was Cuban linx and the rest...ah, you know whats up, I'll just say it wasnt no good follow up from Cuban linx. RZA and others created the wu sound and RZA was incharge of that. RZA is a genius and produced the best albums out of hiphop history but now theres no love.

RZA is the creator of wu-tang. Ghostface is the only one who chooses producers who sound like Rza.,.but his albums sound the same. "8 Diagrams" is a new sound...just like "36 chambers" was new. WU TANG with out Rza is the worst idea ever. it cant be done.
STUNTMANSKI 4 years ago
Rza is a god producer. He created Wu tang. Without Rza Wu would not even exsist. Raekwon must have forgot that his only great album "ONLY BUILT.." was produced by Rza. "TICAL" "LIQUID SWORDS" "RETURN OF THE 36 CHAMBERS" "IRON MAN" "FOREVER" AND "36 CHAMBERS" are the albums that created the dynasty. ALL THOS ALBUMS ARE PRODUCED BY RZA. "8 Diagrams" is a album people will not get at first but will be remebered as a classic. It is truly a great album. Give respect.

Im sorry no disrespect but ... This album will never match The 36th Chambers !!! Old Hip Hop , if you wanna call it that way, was pure and real ... Todays Hip Hop is different. For people who grew up in the early 90s when Wu was shining like a MO FO !!! We dont feel what u feel !!!Listen to the 36 Chambers and Only Built for Cuban Linx one after the other, trust me ... we might listen to old hip hop but 8 Diagrams doesnt not match these 2 classic albums !! Nuff said !

I've heard the new album and I Agree w/ Raekwon and Ghostface,it's crap!
I mean the beats are slow and boring.
I like 4 songs out of 16 tracks on that album:
Windmill,Elephant Runs,16th Chamber and Stick Me For My Riches. THE NEW GHOSTFACE IS HARD!!!

Then don't listen to it. lol. It has good moments. I like the earlier stuff better but it got some joints in there. We live in an era where cats don't buy Cds like they once did. So if Rza kept it hood, it would limit its potential of reaching people or selling. I like Ghost album more but yo but his music is tailor for cats thats not even going to go to the store and buy the record dawgs. Open your mind a little bits. Its not bad as you think, Its just not what cats expect.
abyss104 4 years ago
Rza is the whole Brains behind one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time... While I do admit that Wu got a little stale in the late 90's to early 2000... He wasn't the only one to fall off.. It was everybody to Meth to Ray.. I will say that Ghost was the only cat that was the best in the group the last 8 years. Before him Meth was the best...

"the heart gently weeps" is the end of hip hop... a shit, obvious, cash in sample from a group who should know better... accompanied by the typical " oh poor me" rap.. fuck them .. i just wish the wu tang from 94 could here this shit and realize just how badly they have sold out. so very very disappointing. hip hop is over.

Son, I thought the same thing too. I was like what the fuck is this. But, its not bad now. Is it a hip hop record? No, but the rhymes and stories is hot. I wanted early wu too but that shit has no place commercially in todays market. Niggas is old now, they can't afford to keep it real anymore. Cause the niggas they keeping real too ain't the ones buying music Anything from that era, where the Blackmoon, Jeru, early Wu, wouldn't sell now.

is it me are all you lot on crack! this 8 diagrams of far(hopefully he will modifie it) is not right. who gives a shit of expanding music, ppl want that raw shit, no fuckin guitars in it, if this does well i will be shocked....plz rza bring back the chambers, the whole purpose of you lot is to remain underground with those complex lyrics,not expand and make this commerical guitar bullshit

No other crew or music group in music EVER came as deep as the Wu. When The Abbott was like 'we come through'...damn. Think about how deep this clique is regardless of the quality of music. Royal Fam, 12 O'Clock, Killarmy, Sunz of Man. Gravediggaz, Shyheim, Black Knights, La The Darkman, Killah Priest, Jaime Summers, Tekeitha, Blue Razberry, GP Wu, Papa Wu and on and on..That's deep.
